The Clean-Up Guide

Welcome to Illawarra Tip Run’s Clean Up Guide — your all-in-one resource for tackling clutter, managing waste responsibly, and staying on top of seasonal or life-stage cleanouts.

We know that decluttering and rubbish removal can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created this blog to make the process easier, giving you the tools and confidence to clear your space without the stress.


Over time, we’ll be building a library of articles that walk you through every aspect of decluttering, rubbish removal, and responsible disposal.

The content will gradually cover five key areas:

  • Decluttering and Organising → Everyday rules and methods, like the One-Year Rule or the Four-Box Method, to help you decide what stays and what goes.

  • Waste and Recycling Education → Tips on responsible disposal, green waste management, and when to choose a tip run or a skip bin.

  • Moving and Downsizing → Guidance for life’s big transitions, from moving house to handling estate cleanouts with care.

  • Practical Value and How-To Guides → Step-by-step instructions for cleanouts like garages, sheds, or spring cleaning.

  • Community and Local Environment → Ways to support a cleaner, safer Illawarra while keeping your own home in order.

Each blog post we publish will become part of the Clean Up Guide — making it a growing collection of practical advice, expert tips, and local insights to help you stay on top of clutter and waste, all year round.
